"After spending 19 hours in the emergency department of the hospital we arrived in Buckingham around 2 pm and as we were hungry we decided to go to eat at Prezzo, which we had never been to before. As soon as we entered we saw a middle aged blonde woman who asked us if we had a reservation (which surprised me because the restaurant was empty except for 2 tables, I thought that she didn't seem to control the reservations she had, if she managed it well she would have known that we didn't have a reservation). She spoke to us all the time in a very rude way and looked down on us. We placed our order, but about 2 minutes later I went to the bar and asked her to please change some dishes, she spoke to me very rudely and started banging on the computer to cancel the dishes very aggressively and very angry. We ordered the following: Caesar salad, the portion of food is too small to be worth £13.95, a supermarket bag has a lot more, and they brought it to us without the egg. Spaghetti Bolognese, when we came in we saw at one of the tables that they served it with a large amount of bolognaise on a separate plate but they brought us very little bolognaise on top of the spaghetti, it doesn't seem to me to be a dish worth £13.50. Penne Alla Rusticana, a lot of penne and not enough chicken and only 4 small pieces of ham, the pepper was also scarce, the sauce was more like cream with a little tomato for colour, not much flavour, not a dish worth £14.50 either I had to go and get it to ask for grated cheese, the other table next to us had a large bowl of grated cheese for the same diners and we got a very, very small portion. For dessert we ordered tiramisu which was brought to us with a blonde hair on top. To pay I had to go again to look for her who was on the terrace sitting at a table with the chef looking at her mobile phone. We were treated as if we were not good enough for the restaurant or could not pay the bill, the meal cost us £64.10, which seems very expensive for the treatment and the food, in my opinion they gave us smaller portions because the manager did not like us. I have never been made to feel so bad. Of course I will never go to a Prezzo again."

"Ordered a takeaway last night after a long hiatus from using this business. Following a brave attempt from a staff member at being friendly as I walked through the door, that all very quickly evaporated to a surlyness bordering upon contempt within 20 seconds which became very apparent to me. I picked my order up at 11pm, they're open until 11.30pm according to their website, yet I could clearly see that they were not happy at all that I'd placed an order that late, and this was on a Thursday, not a Monday! The chef brought the food out, dressed in his coat, ready to go home, with his face literally tripping him up! I got home, only 5 minutes away, to find a tiny portion of rice, which was the only hot item, a main which was just about luke warm, and the starter cold, as in stone cold.This was after me picking up my food 20 minutes after placing my order as per their instruction. Food lacked any dimension regarding flavour of any sort, besides the distinct lack of temperature, I had paid £16.50 for not very much food at all, that was overall luke warm at very best. They are obviously happy to take your money without what seems to be a single thought about if you'd ever want to go back there ever again or recommend their restaurant to anyone else, what a way to run a business! I very simply won't ever be going back or giving them any sort of recommendation! I got a blatantly stark reminder that I obviously did have a very good reason for my long hiatus, but I had decided last night that I was prepared to give them another chance. Whereas, in actuality, they only succeded in demonstrating to me exactly why I hadn't used them in so many years in every single way. (I'm a Wendover resident for well over 20 years) My experience last night can only be described as totally diabolical, I didn't enjoy one single bit of the experience! I'll be using their direct competitor from now on, only up the road and they do actually seem to care what goes out of their door. Their service is good, and their food does have some proper dimension to it's flavours, unlike here....plus its never cold!! Spend your hard earned cash somewhere else is my advice, my experience with this restaurant has been outrageously bad on all counts, both now and all those years ago too. That goes for the food and a shocking attitude from the staff, because hospitality, it's definitely not! Seems like some leapords never change their spots and this one certainly hasn't, it's got worse if anything! I'm not one to normally leave reviews, but after last night's experience, I've decided to change all that, the good people out there have every right to know about what amounted to a pretty ghastly experience for me, from start to finish. As much as I'd love to support and recommend a local business, not this one, not on your Nelly!"
